0:00:24 > 0:00:27- It's late April...
0:00:27 > 0:00:31- ..and I'm vicinity - of Pennant Gwytherin...
0:00:31 > 0:00:33- ..not far from Llanrwst, Conwy.
0:00:33 > 0:00:36- The area has recently recovered...
0:00:37 > 0:00:41- ..from the longest and cruellest - spring in living memory.
0:00:41 > 0:00:45- But sheep and lambs - can still be heard bleating.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48- People here are smiling too...
0:00:48 > 0:00:51- ..and I'm looking forward - to meeting them.
0:00:53 > 0:00:55- SHEEP AND LAMBS BLEAT
0:01:13 > 0:01:17- Merddyn is farmed by Tudor Thomas - and his wife, Bronwen...
0:01:17 > 0:01:20- ..and their sons, - Medwyn and Bleddyn.
0:01:20 > 0:01:24- Tudor's family has lived here - for several generations.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38- What breed are most of the sheep?
0:01:38 > 0:01:39- Welsh Mountain?
0:01:39 > 0:01:41- Welsh Mountain?- - Yes, Welsh Mountain.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44- And we have Border Leicester - and Texel rams.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47- Do you sell ewe lambs for breeding?
0:01:47 > 0:01:49- No, we keep our ewe lambs.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51- Do you?
0:01:52 > 0:01:55- We haven't sold - any ewe lambs for years.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59- The fields - are starting to become greener.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01- It's nearly the end of April.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03- It's nearly the end of April.- - Yes, things are starting to improve.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06- It's not as grey as it was.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10- How high above sea level - is the farm?
0:02:10 > 0:02:12- Here, we're fairly low down.
0:02:12 > 0:02:16- It's about 750 feet here, - rising to about 1,400 feet.
0:02:16 > 0:02:17- Let me get my bearings.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20- In which direction is Hiraethog?
0:02:20 > 0:02:22- Hiraethog is all around us.
0:02:22 > 0:02:26- It starts on this side - and extends all around us.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29- I'm sure you get long winters - up there.
0:02:30 > 0:02:31- Yes, we do!
0:02:32 > 0:02:34- Have you always lived here?
0:02:34 > 0:02:37- Yes - I'm the fourth generation.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39- Don't let me keep you.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42- The lads will be waiting for you.
0:02:53 > 0:02:54- WHISTLING
0:03:06 > 0:03:08- This is a very windy spot, Medwyn.
0:03:08 > 0:03:10- This is a very windy spot, Medwyn.- - Yes, it is.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13- Your father said - it's 1,400 feet above sea level.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15- It can be a tough place.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17- It can be a tough place.- - Yes, the weather can be rough.
0:03:18 > 0:03:22- You've been improving - a lot of the land up here.
0:03:22 > 0:03:27- Yes, we've been improving most of - it, to try to increase production.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32- It still costs money - to keep it going.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34- Yes - manure costs money.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36- Tell me about the ewes.
0:03:36 > 0:03:40- Many of them are lambing - lower down the valley.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44- You don't send them away - over winter.
0:03:44 > 0:03:45- No.
0:03:46 > 0:03:50- The only sheep that we send away - for wintering are the ewe lambs.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52- Fair play to you.
0:03:52 > 0:03:56- We've had a terribly bad - winter and spring...
0:03:56 > 0:03:58- ..but the sheep look well.
0:03:58 > 0:04:02- You've been transporting feed - for them, have you?
0:04:02 > 0:04:04- Yes, for months.
0:04:04 > 0:04:05- Do they get silage as well?
0:04:05 > 0:04:07- Do they get silage as well?- - Yes, silage and cake.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09- You have acres of land up here.
0:04:10 > 0:04:14- It's a good place to work dogs, - and you need good dogs.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16- We'd be lost without the dogs.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18- I'll follow you down to bottom.
0:04:19 > 0:04:20- Right.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22- It's not a place to linger.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24- Thank you.
0:04:54 > 0:04:58- Upland farming demands - particular knowledge and skills.
0:04:58 > 0:05:04- Bleddyn is working hard to improve - these difficult upland areas.
0:05:04 > 0:05:08- Of course, they've been born - to this work.
0:05:17 > 0:05:21- I wouldn't go up there - for all the gold in Peru.
0:05:21 > 0:05:22- No?
0:05:23 > 0:05:26- It's extremely steep - near the trees at the top.
0:05:27 > 0:05:28- Yes, it's pretty steep.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32- Modern ploughs - do a good job, though.
0:05:32 > 0:05:33- Yes, they're good.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36- They loosen up the soil - and the old surface.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39- This allows fresh grass to grow.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42- Many farmers would sow seed as well.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46- That's right, - it would probably do a good job.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50- If the land - already contains plenty of lime.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53- Do you apply lime in these areas?
0:05:53 > 0:05:55- Yes, that's what I'll be doing.
0:05:56 > 0:06:01- There are some areas where - a standard lime spreader can't go.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03- What other things do you do?
0:06:03 > 0:06:07- I clear gorse - with a forestry mulcher...
0:06:07 > 0:06:11- ..between September and April - or late March...
0:06:11 > 0:06:15- ..and I apply fertilizer - in April and May.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17- I turn and treat the soil.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20- And then we're back - to square one.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22- So it takes up a lot of the year.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24- You also lend a hand at home.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26- Yes, with other jobs.
0:06:26 > 0:06:30- You must have a soft spot - for this area.
0:06:30 > 0:06:34- I could never leave, - not for all the money in the world.
0:06:34 > 0:06:39- How many farm wives, like Bronwen, - have been rearing orphan lambs?
0:06:41 > 0:06:42- Do you have many orphan lambs?
0:06:42 > 0:06:44- Do you have many orphan lambs?- - Yes.
0:06:44 > 0:06:45- You say "llywaeth", don't you?
0:06:45 > 0:06:47- You say "llywaeth", don't you?- - Yes, we call them "wyn llywaeth".
0:06:48 > 0:06:51- It's been such a bad - winter and spring.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53- The lambs must be brought inside.
0:06:53 > 0:06:54- The lambs must be brought inside.- - You can't just leave them.
0:06:55 > 0:06:56- That's right.
0:06:57 > 0:06:58- LAMBS BLEAT LOUDLY
0:07:01 > 0:07:03- Good gracious!
0:07:04 > 0:07:05- There are lots!
0:07:05 > 0:07:07- Yes.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10- How many times a day - do you feed them?
0:07:11 > 0:07:13- Four times a day, if I can.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18- All the lambing takes place indoors, - I suppose?
0:07:18 > 0:07:20- All the cross-bred ewes.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23- Feeding all these is hard work.
0:07:24 > 0:07:28- Some of them haven't got used - to the bucket yet.
0:07:29 > 0:07:30- They'll learn.
0:07:30 > 0:07:34- But it's late April - and lambing is coming to an end.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37- Will you be weaning them - on to pellets?
0:07:37 > 0:07:39- And then they'll go outside.
0:07:40 > 0:07:45- I've started weaning some of them, - and they're eating a little.
0:07:45 > 0:07:46- The larger lambs.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49- The smaller lambs are over there.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08- SHEEP AND LAMBS BLEAT
0:08:20 > 0:08:23- The sun has reached - Pennant Gwytherin.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26- This is Bryn Clochydd Farm...
0:08:26 > 0:08:29- ..the home of Morris Jones - and his family.
0:08:29 > 0:08:33- The sun is shining, - and I'm wearing my sun hat.
0:08:33 > 0:08:34- Let's hope it works!
0:08:35 > 0:08:36- If not, I'll sell it!
0:08:48 > 0:08:51- It's early June.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54- The sheep and the lambs - have fattened well.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57- It's surprising, the way they've...
0:08:59 > 0:09:03- ..come through the winter, - and the spring, especially.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06- But we'd been feeding them heavily.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08- A matter of necessity.
0:09:08 > 0:09:09- I'm sure.
0:09:09 > 0:09:13- Your sheep are very white, - aren't they?
0:09:13 > 0:09:16- We've been breeding these for years.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21- They're mules and half-breeds.
0:09:21 > 0:09:26- We've been breeding for size, - and as dense a fleece as possible.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28- Size, too.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32- And you want them - to have white heads.
0:09:32 > 0:09:33- Yes.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36- Your lambs do you credit.
0:09:36 > 0:09:37- They're not very old.
0:09:38 > 0:09:39- They were born in April.
0:09:39 > 0:09:44- I should imagine they wanted - to go back where they came from!
0:09:44 > 0:09:46- That's right!
0:09:46 > 0:09:49- Do you carry out all the work - yourself?
0:09:49 > 0:09:53- Most of it, though I bring in help - occasionally.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56- I use contractors for some jobs.
0:09:57 > 0:09:58- I see.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01- I was coming up towards the farm.
0:10:02 > 0:10:06- It's six weeks - since I last visited the area.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09- Silage seems to be coming along - quickly.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12- We're only just starting.
0:10:12 > 0:10:16- The wind is still northerly and cold - but the grass is growing.
0:10:16 > 0:10:20- In just a few weeks' time - - about two weeks...
0:10:21 > 0:10:23- ..it'll be the longest day.
0:10:23 > 0:10:24- The solstice, yes.
0:10:25 > 0:10:26- You call it "troad y rhod"?
0:10:29 > 0:10:31- I don't want to hinder you.
0:10:31 > 0:10:32- Are you earmarking?
0:10:32 > 0:10:34- The Bryn Clochydd earmark.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39- A two-cut notch - on the lower edge of the right ear.
0:10:39 > 0:10:43- And a folded notch - on the lower edge of the left ear.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46- I had though it was unique - to Bryn Clochydd...
0:10:47 > 0:10:50- ..but I discovered that Gwyn Berry - uses the same mark.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53- It wouldn't surprise me...
0:10:53 > 0:10:57- ..if every sheep in North Wales - had Gwyn Berry's mark!
0:10:57 > 0:10:58- What a character!
0:10:58 > 0:11:01- Let me put some pitch on this ewe.
0:11:04 > 0:11:08- We have to use - this particular pitch.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11- The mark say "BC".
0:11:11 > 0:11:12- That looks old.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14- The mark fades.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17- These sheep live a long time.
0:11:25 > 0:11:26- .

0:11:39 > 0:11:43- So this is your mountain pasture.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45- This is Bryn Clochydd's pasture.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47- It's on Mynydd Hiraethog.
0:11:48 > 0:11:52- Each farm in the Gwytherin Valley - has pasture.
0:11:52 > 0:11:56- Some of you have improved - extensive areas of the mountain.
0:11:56 > 0:12:01- Yes, some farmers have been able to - do so because the land is quite dry.
0:12:02 > 0:12:06- But in some of these parts, - the land is much too wet...
0:12:06 > 0:12:08- ..to do anything with it.
0:12:08 > 0:12:13- Wet land often comes within - the remit of conservation schemes.
0:12:13 > 0:12:16- I do understand and accept...
0:12:16 > 0:12:20- ..that subsidies are needed - in places like this.
0:12:20 > 0:12:24- The growing season - doesn't last long in these areas.
0:12:24 > 0:12:28- It's very short - especially - in years like this one.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31- It lasts just a few months.
0:12:33 > 0:12:37- If we didn't receive subsidies, - there would be far fewer farmers...
0:12:38 > 0:12:41- ..and we'd have to farm - on a far bigger scale.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45- Boundaries are important - for all farms.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47- You have very good fences.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49- A matter of necessity.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52- Like every other farm, - we must have fences.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55- When I bought the farm in '72...
0:12:55 > 0:12:58- ..there weren't any hedges - or fences.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01- That was the very first thing I did.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04- I put brand new fences everywhere.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06- Over three miles of fencing.
0:13:06 > 0:13:10- The posts for this fence - are 40 years old.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13- These are the posts I bought in '72.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16- They're made from softwood...
0:13:16 > 0:13:20- ..but they've been dried - and treated with a chemical...
0:13:21 > 0:13:23- ..whatever it is they use.
0:13:23 > 0:13:28- The posts were properly dried - and treated, and they've lasted.
0:13:28 > 0:13:33- This fence is quite new, - and it's attached to the old posts.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36- I see you're erecting new posts too.
0:13:36 > 0:13:40- We've applied creosote to the base, - and we've dried them.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44- But I'm sure they won't last - as long as these posts.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54- It's a very good valley for farmers.
0:13:56 > 0:13:59- It stretches all the way - from the road to the peak.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01- You have mountain pasture...
0:14:01 > 0:14:02- Mountain pasture.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04- Mountain pasture.- - And land in the valley.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07- The problem for many of us...
0:14:07 > 0:14:11- ..is that there isn't enough land - to grow crops...
0:14:12 > 0:14:15- ..compared with the amount - of land for grazing.
0:14:15 > 0:14:17- It can be a problem.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36- WHISTLING
0:14:43 > 0:14:47- What could be better - than shearing out in the pasture?
0:14:47 > 0:14:52- All you need is a fine day - and plenty of sheep.
0:14:53 > 0:14:57- Tudor is in his element - - and indeed the whole family.
0:14:58 > 0:15:01- And there's a bonus - - we have a champion shearer...
0:15:02 > 0:15:04- ..a local lad, Gareth Evans.
0:15:06 > 0:15:11- We've been up here in cold weather, - but today, it's glorious.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13- Yes, it's much better.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15- Even though spring came late...
0:15:15 > 0:15:19- ..are you keeping to the same dates - for shearing?
0:15:19 > 0:15:20- Close enough.
0:15:21 > 0:15:22- The sheep are in fine condition.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24- The sheep are in fine condition.- - They're not bad.
0:15:24 > 0:15:29- This is far easier - than taking them down to the farm.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31- Shearing up here.
0:15:31 > 0:15:34- It's what we do - if the weather's fine.
0:15:34 > 0:15:35- You shear in lots, do you?
0:15:35 > 0:15:36- You shear in lots, do you?- - Yes.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54- You must be getting hot, Gareth.
0:15:54 > 0:15:55- You must be getting hot, Gareth.- - Yes, it's hot.
0:15:56 > 0:15:58- You're the Welsh champion.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01- It's good to see you - out here in the mountains.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04- I'm sure this work is in your blood.
0:16:04 > 0:16:05- Yes.
0:16:06 > 0:16:07- I live close to this area.
0:16:08 > 0:16:09- Are you a farmer?
0:16:09 > 0:16:12- Yes - I was granted - a council farm last year.
0:16:13 > 0:16:14- Well done.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17- You're getting through them - very quickly.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20- The shearing's going very well.
0:16:20 > 0:16:23- Yes, and the sheep are looking well.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25- Yes, they are.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27- Have you been abroad recently?
0:16:27 > 0:16:30- Yes - I was in France last week.
0:16:30 > 0:16:34- I was representing Wales - in the Six Nations.
0:16:36 > 0:16:37- Did you do well?
0:16:37 > 0:16:41- Yes, we did - - Wales beat France in the end.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43- We did well.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47- It takes me more time than that - to peel a banana!
0:17:02 > 0:17:06- Anwen, the women are in charge - of wrapping the fleeces.
0:17:06 > 0:17:07- You're Tudor's sister, aren't you?
0:17:07 > 0:17:09- You're Tudor's sister, aren't you?- - Yes.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12- So you were born and raised - in this area.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14- Yes.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17- And you've learned - how to wrap fleeces.
0:17:17 > 0:17:21- Did more people take part - when you were a child?
0:17:22 > 0:17:27- People stopped using hand shears - in 1959, at Merddyn...
0:17:27 > 0:17:29- ..and turned to machines.
0:17:30 > 0:17:33- You have the Welsh champion - here today.
